The sketch, it’s realisation and her lovers, Drawing Centre Diepenheim, Diepenheim (NL), 18.05.24 - 01.09.24


Archetype (2024) is a series of murals in which I have painted the ‘wrong RAL colours’ on the walls of the exhibition spaces at Drawing Centre Diepenheim, creating a suggestion of daylight entering the room. The series of murals is centred on three distinct window types from the Drawing Centre Diepenheim building that have vanished over the years due to fire, renovation, and reconstruction. These ghost-like compositions on the wall are derived from the original construction drawings, which are full of traces, such as imprints of sunlight, builders' footprints, and the architect's notes.

In the works, the construction drawings and the actual building merge into one another. They mark the passing of time and suggest all the histories kept in the shadow of the white cube exhibition space.

The compositions will be overprinted after the exhibition and will become a part of the building’s memory.
